A friend suggested I try Shiseido foundation after a business trip. My previous foundation looked beautiful but had no long wearing capability. I went to the counter and had my skin tone matched. The color and finish are flawless. The first day I wore the perfect smoothing foundation I had a BBQ to set up for and cohost. After working 6 hours getting everything set up, sweating the entire time, I checked my makeup only to find not only was it still visible, but it was still just as beautiful as when I first applied it, maybe even better. This product is amazing! I am 47 years old and find often powder foundations can settle into those fine lines especially around the mouth and eyes, this one did not!

First off I am 52 and my life is consumed with hotflashes! My skin is typically normal, a bit dry after dermatologic procedures and a bit oily in summer. I run the gamut! My challenge has been to find a foundation hearty enough to withstand sweaty bouts yet look natural and beautiful. I have minor hyperpigmentation and large pores. The finish on this foundation I would describe as somewhere between matte and luminous. It minimizes my pores beautifully. No need for primer. Other foundations, especially "luminous" finish ones do nothing but make my pores more pronounced and fade away after a hot flash or two. This foundation fits the bill! Blends away uneven skin tone, minimizes pores and lasts all day. Perfect! I can wear this all year round despite being oily or dry. So easy to apply and carry around for touch ups. Speaking of touch ups, this formula doesn't cake up and look like a mask by the end of the day. My holy grail!

you can apply a little or alot with this product. I apply more heavily at my sunspot areas and lighter elsewhere,and it blends well with my skin tone. I suggest going to the store counter to find your shade and order as you please for refills.

Ordered and was sent the wrong thing, when called was told they would watch for my new order and not chagre me for shipping but I was charged for shipping YET again... I don't feel like it is worth to order from companhy online, don't think I will be doing that ever again!

I've used this powder for years and LOVED the color and coverage but they no longer carry the shade I used. All shades have a yellowish/bronze look which I can't wear. I'm so disappointed because I liked the pinkish (B40?) that I used.
